Friday afternoon discussion: Morris, Owens, Von Rosenberg

Without much to talk about this afternoon or the time required to write a full post up, let’s try something a little different. How would you currently rank the following three prospects: Bryan Morris, Rudy Owens, and Zach Von Rosenberg? We’ve got one guy that’s dominated for a year and a half now but scouts still have questions about, one guy that the scouts love but has struggled prior to this season, and a highly regarded draft pick that we still don’t know much about.

Currently, I think I’d rank them in the order I have them in above. We’ll have to see what Morris does in Double-A, but he’s been electric this year. Owens has been promoted pretty aggressively this year and hasn’t missed a beat in Altoona, but I’m still not sure he profiles as more than a pitcher like Maholm in the big leagues (which isn’t a bad thing at all, of course). Von Rosenberg, we just have to see more of before we can start making judgments.

So how would you rank them? Why? Explain it in the comments. If it gets a good response, I’ll make this a regular feature. And if you’re having trouble with the comments, I think I’ve figured at least a partial workaround for now, which involves me having to go in and manually publish a bunch of comments, but don’t despair if they don’t show up right away.
